 The battles and the man I will describeFrom Troy's bounds first that fugitiveBy fate to Italy came and coast Lavinia,Over land and sea driven with great painBy force of gods above from every stead,Of cruel Juno through old remembered wrath:Great pain in battles suffered he also,Or he his gods brought in LatiumAnd built the city, from which of noble fameThe Latin people taken have their name,And also the fathers, princes of Alba,Came, and the wall-builders of great Rome also. Bk. 1, line 1.
